Preserved Topic: This code

Anyone know why this code would be in a message I was trying to edit in "Big Sig"?

The poster has demanded we remove all his contributions, less he takes legal action.
We have done so.
Now Tyberius Prime expects him to start complaining that we removed his 'free speech' since this message will replace all of his posts, past and future.
Don't follow his example - seek real life help first.

I'd say that the tag that ended the input area was eaten by the gremlin on transmission, therefore tricking your browser into thinking that that code was still part of the text in the textbox.

Just hit F5 - it should disapear then.

I only read a bit of it, but it looks pretty disturbing. Especially that first line <IMG SRC="bug.cgi"> sounds bad. Also when I was skimming through it I saw something about cookies, I'll look at it more later.

I can assure you, apart from the <img src="yourmachine/bug.cgi"> this is coming straight from the asylum.

still, midi, you should check your machine for adware.
